Original Word: רַעַשׁ
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: raash
Pronunciation: rah-ash
Phonetic Spelling: (rah’-ash)
Definition: Commotion, earthquake, quaking, shaking, tumult
Meaning: vibration, bounding, uproar

Word Origin: From the root verb רָעַשׁ (ra’ash), which means to quake or shake.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: – G4578: σεισμός (seismos) – earthquake, commotion

– G4535: σείω (seio) – to shake, to cause to tremble

Usage: The Hebrew word “raash” primarily denotes a physical shaking or quaking, often used to describe natural phenomena such as earthquakes. It can also refer to a metaphorical shaking, indicating turmoil or commotion among people or nations. The term is used to convey both literal and figurative senses of instability and disturbance.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, earthquakes were seen as manifestations of divine power and judgment. The land of Israel is situated along the Great Rift Valley, making it susceptible to seismic activity. Earthquakes were often interpreted as signs of God’s presence or displeasure. The imagery of shaking and quaking is also used in prophetic literature to describe the upheaval of nations and the coming of God’s kingdom.
